Ruby is one of the weaker aspects of the show. Both actresses who played her are not the best actresses around and the character is wooden and stiff as a result. Sam's trust in her is perplexing at first. However, the character ends up working because of this final story beat present. It sells all the other aspects and amazingly enough the twist doesn't feel like a cheat. It one of the aspects that makes this a near perfect climax for the near perfect season that I wished to highlight.
Season overall:
season 4 is debatable the best season of the show because it manages to have one of the most intense storyline that causes the Sam and Dean to fight. Their disagreement in this season feels less forced and more real than later brotherly melodrama the show comes up with. There is something more relatable to Sam's addiction than yet another contrived secret that one of them have kept. Apart from that the mythical arch hasn't fully taken over the show and the one offs in this are wonderfully daft and quirky. The season has a balance and freshness that show ends up lacking in later seasons.
